They key to blogging is writing. The key to getting recognition is writing original content. And the key to getting a large following is doing that regularly in a clear and easy to understand writing style that doesn’t have fluff.
When you read a blog many do not like the ranting style most write with because that is how most writers are taught in school(k-12, college, etc). However, the reader, in this case you, wants the writer to write something personal, easy, and quick. They do not want to look for information too hard. Clicking a lot of links it’s a lot of work. And if the website doesn’t look like it has what they want then it’s no good either. It has to have information that not only is accessible or visible to the user, but related to them as well. I do not post cooking information, it’s just not something I am interested or knowledgeable in, so those people do not come to this website. That’s just an example.
How do you get to that level of writing though? It definitely requires skill, because there is no extra stuff you can put in, your intelligence is measured by the ideas you have not the larger words you use, and your delivery is the most important part of the whole thing because any could come here and needs to understand what it is you are trying to tell them.
You learn by doing. Write, write a lot, and write some more. Do not worry if you suck at writing. With the internet it’s easy to set up a blog that isn’t tied to your name. As long as you’re not spreading hate or terrorist ideas I am sure that is enough security for your horrible writing.
